yep also replace the spigot bush and replace the front seal on the gearbox as the no1 cause for worn clutches is oil...

Id only replace the seals if they are leaking. Definitly replace the spigot bush and thrust bearing.

Thing with seals is if you put a new one in it might leak! If you leave the old one that is not leaking it usually won't leak!

My theory is if it aint broke dont fix it!

The gearbox front input and tail shaft seals arn't worth much.

Consider the clutch will be in there for another 60-100,000km's so its probably worth while doing the seals now.

When I first bought mine I had the clutch done. No leaks. No less than 20,000km's later I noticed a little drip from the front of the gearbox. A stuffed input shaft seal. 'Bastard'. Do it while its out!

I got that replaced then a year later the output shaft seal was nacked. Then 3rd gear got munched so I didn't worry about it. :)

So........

Input shaft seal and gasket

Output shaft seal

Spiggot bush

Hardened pivot if your running a 1000kg+ clutch.

Maybe a new slave cylinder they are only $30-$40 odd.

Check gearbox mount as often than not if you've been giving it a bit of a hard time it will be busted.

and some good castrol synthetic or redline gearbox oil.

Reweld up the pedal box at a later date if you wish. With heavy duty 800kg+ clutches its just a matter of 'when' they pop the spot welds. Should cost no more than $30 to reweld. + labour for in and out if you can't be bothered laying on your back for 30mins.

I'll grab one just for curiosity.

Did you grease it up a touch before hand? Where do u get them for $10?

Being Nismo I assume Nissan sell them?

yeah only on the inside though were the rollers are. (used some very good and very expensive landrover grease $300 a tube from my 'mate' :ninja:)

i got them from 3lit3 32

With the roller bearings you really should get an oil seal ring for it as well.

Mazda do it that way.

Ive had one fall apart and go all through the clutch when a workshop that won't be named put a 13bt in my rx7. they didn't put a seal in, 20k later bearing ran dry and died and i drove home with the clutch stuck half way (lots of slip). That was the day i found they'd installed an 8 inch plate instead of an 8.5 as well ;)

they go into the end of the crank, so 1 size fits all

got any pics of this oil ring? i dont see how u can run one, caus the input shaft has to go in and out of it, and therfore u cant have it sealed off. or can you?

the grease i used was some bearing grease that they use on the wheel bearings on the landrovers etc

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
